It's been a little while now since I last wrote something on here and there's one or two things to catch up on.
Geometry Wars 2
The original Geo Wars was easily the stand-out title amongst the early XBLA releases and the sequel is one of the best games so far on the service. I've been playing an awful lot of it since it came out and I don't think I'll be putting it down anytime soon. The new game-modes are superb. "Pacifism" in particular is a great new twist on the gameplay, forcing you to run from enemies for as long as possible without weapons, rather then encouraging the usual insane combat.
If you never checked out the first Geo Wars you should definitely try this one. The barrier to entry, in terms of achievement difficulty, is much lower and racing to beat your friends' scores on the XBL leaderboards never gets old.
Uncharted trophies
The PS3 has some great titles these days, but before MGS4 the best game on the system was easily Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. The visuals and story telling were wonderful. Recently the game was patched, adding in PS3 trophy functionality. Unfortunately, the trophies weren't retrospective, but with good reason. Its so easy to share PS3 savegames that players could easily have downloaded a completed savefile in order to unlock all of the trophies without any effort. By forcing players to start over, everyone will be on a level playing field.
So, like everyone else I started the game again. I managed to get around half the trophies in my first replay and I intend to go back and grab a few more before I start my new job in a week's time.
That's it for now. Time to wait for the big games to start trickling out.
